Question

    In the questions given below, there are three

    statements followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to take the three given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Few M are P. Some N are P. All N are O. Conclusion: I. Some O are P. II. Some M are N. III. Some O are M.
    A Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C None of the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some N are P (I) → Conversion → Some P are N (I) + All N are O (A) → Some P are O (I) → Conversion → Some O are P (I). Hence conclusion I follows.   Few M are P (I) + Some P are N (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion II nor III follow.
